July 10, 2022 Music and deaths

July 10

What genre of music contributes to the most death?

I think it is more lifestyle related considering young musicians indulging living dangerously with drugs, an "over the top" lifestyle. When you are speaking of deaths, I have noticed most of the coverage of shooters show these young men listening to “death metal or rap that includes lyrics about death”. But there are plenty of young guys that love grunge, rap, metal etc. that do just fine. The rappers that have died by gun violence are mostly involved with gangsta rap but most have been caught up in all kinds of "bad" behavior like being in rival gangs.

I love all types of music and hate to say one genre contributes to death. The lyrics probably don’t have that much to do with it anyway. A lonely dysfunctional life of negative music along video games and movies that depict violence can’t be good for anyone.
